Is the pressure level on tires the right pressure level to use? No. The pressure level printed on tires is only the maximum pressure the tires can safely hold - the automaker's recommended pressure tire level is the one which should be used on the tires.

In addition to regular oil changes, make sure to rotate your tires. Rotating them keeps wear balanced, and extends their life, making them safer over the long run, and less likely to fail in an emergency.
